Verse 15
Chios was the major town of a small island by the same name on which the poet Homer had been born. Samos was another island off the coast of Asia directly west of Ephesus another day’s sail south. Samos’ most famous son was Pathagoras, the great mathematician. Miletus stood 30 miles south of Ephesus on the mainland. Normally small ships like the ones on which Paul’s company traveled along the coast put into port each night when the winds died down.
